We were in town for the weekend and wanted BBQ. We basically just randomly picked this place. It is truly amazing!!! Don’t hesitate just get here fast!

Really good pork ribs and brisket. Well worth finding this hidden restaurant.
The best BBQ I’ve ever tasted. Even my father, a seasoned BBQ taster, put it in his top 5 all time.
Great meat, the rub was killer, and the sides were incredible.
Don’t delay, go here, do not miss this place!

We connected with Backwoods Barbecue when we were searching for barbecue CATERING for our son’s rehearsal dinner. We are from out of state and took a leap of faith with Backwoods — they did not disappoint!
Michael was fantastic to work with, the food was worth raving over, and such a great value.
I would highly recommend them for your bbq catering needs!

I love love this place. Tonight just not the night, my steak was mostly gristle. 😥 Yet will not stop me from eating here!
Let me just say this: Backwoods BBQ knows exactly what they’re doing. Like… soul-healing, finger-licking, don’t-talk-to-me-I’m-eating kind of BBQ.
The brisket? Tender. Juicy. Basically melts like butter if butter had a smoky, peppery crust. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone legends. And the corn? Look, I don’t know what magic they sprinkled on it, but I’d drive back just for that golden, buttery goodness. Legit A-MAIZE-ING. 🌽✨
Service? Friendly doesn’t even cover it — everyone there treats you like you’ve been coming for years. It's that small-town “you’re family now” vibe that makes the food taste even better.
Seriously, everything was on point. No weak spots. No complaints. No crumbs left on the plate.
If you're rolling through Fredericksburg and skip Backwoods BBQ, you're doing Texas wrong.

Their Friday night steaks are amazing. It's best to go early because they usually sell out. All other days they serve the best barbecue along with a great selection of sides!

Love that smell of brisket when you first walk in! Served from the pit. Great brisket and whipped potato salad was good. Sausage was good, sauce a little sweet. I’ll give this one a pretty damn good!

If we lived here, it would be our go to place for bbq . There's something special about the preparation of the food and the atmosphere . Aside from the reasonable price and generous portions, it's just delicious. Don't miss it !
My favorite place to relax and eat great food! The brisket, potato salad and coleslaw was excellent! So nice when you want to get away from the crowds down town.
